Electrophysiologic Effects of Salbutamol, a β2‐Selective Agonist

Abstract: Infusion of salbutamol results in significant electrophysiologic effects on most heart structures, proportionally most pronounced in the AV node. Discordant effects on ventricular conduction, which slowed, and the refractoriness of the ventricular myocardium, which shortened, were seen. QT dispersion was increased.

“…In the control group of horses, the low cardiac output was compensated for by an increase in systemic arterial blood pressure, possibly caused by an increased systemic vascular resistance. We did not record any decrease in systemic arterial blood pressure in our experimental horses following salbutamol administration which was however observed in human patients in studies conducted by Wong et al (1990), Bennet et al (1994) and Insulander et al (2004). In a study on horses, Lee et al (1998) also recorded a short-term decrease in systemic arterial blood pressure following intravenous administration of clenbuterol which lasted on average for 5 min.…”

“…An increase in the inotropic state following intravenous salbutamol administration was also recorded by Insulander et al (2004). The chronotropic action of salbutamol is derived from direct stimulation of β 2 receptors in the heart and from the baroreceptor reflex that results from peripheral vasodilatation caused by the influence on β 2 vascular receptors (Insulander et al, 2004). Studies in human medicine (Wong et al, 1990;Bennet et al, 1994;Insulander et al, 2004) describe the action of inhalation or intravenous salbutamol administration similarly: heart rate increase, peripheral vasodilatation and a decrease in diastolic arterial blood pressure caused by the above mentioned mechanisms.…”

“…Multiple studies on human subjects have shown that salbutamol via its beta-2 action significantly enhances atrioventricular nodal conduction and reduces atrioventricular nodal, atrial, and ventricular refractoriness. 18,19 Epidemiological studies have shown that patients with COPD and asthma treated with oral steroids were at an increased risk of developing AF even after controlling for a few factors of disease severity. 20 van der Hooft et al 21 also found a higher incidence of AF among patients requiring high dose oral steroids regardless of the etiology (rheumatic, allergic, or malignant hematological diseases).…”

“…Such doses of salbutamol are commonly given by nebulizer during acute asthmatic attacks. It has been demonstrated that intravenous salbutamol resulted in significant discordant electrophysiological effects on ventricular conduction, which slowed, and the refractoriness of the ventricular myocardium, which shortened and QT dispersion was increased (9).…”
